Abstract The ability to delay gratification is related success in school and other aspects of life. Genetic as well environmental factors such parenting style partly explain the development (DoG). However, it unclear whether parental personality impacts children’s DoG, how maternal paternal personalities contribute this relationship. present study investigates relationship between 45-month-old ...

The theory of “new sociology childhood” and “universalism in cross-cultural psychology” highlights that children experience different childhood based on their cultural social contexts. Children are actors responsible for taking situations into action. Research considers as neglected bodies the field childhood. This research paper compares Native American Indian children’s competence actors, def...

a 7-year-old castrated male german shepherd dog was presented with a 10-day history of intermittent lethargy, weakness and episodic seizures. laboratory findings after admission revealed hypoglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. provisional diagnosis of insulinoma was made based on the presence of concurrent hypoglycaemia and elevated insulin level. in exploratory laparotomy a small nodular mass was...

the present study was carried out to determine whether helicobacter spp. infection in dogs could affect lesions caused by the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), aspirin and celecoxib. thirty asymptomatic mixed-breed dogs were used for this study. gastric biopsies were taken via gastroscopy and evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and rapid urease tests (rut). helicobacter s...

a one-month-old male terrier dog was referred in shock status with a history of anorexia, tachypnea, abdominal distention and progressive weight loss. auscultation of right side of the lungs found enhanced respiratory noises. the thorough auscultation of the opposite side of the chest revealed the presence of typical intestinal sounds. cardiac auscultation revealed muffled heart sounds and a di...

BACKGROUND Dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1.1 is the most important RBC antigen clinically, as it is highly immunogenic and causes acute hemolytic transfusion reactions (HTR) in sensitized dogs. OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of DEA 1.1 expression in 4 Turkish dog breeds, and to estimate the potential risk of HTR when blood from a DEA 1.1-positive donor is ad...

Elemental hyperaccumulation in plants is hypothesized to represent a plant defense mechanism. The objective of this study was to determine whether selenium (Se) hyperaccumulation offers plants long-term protection from the black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus). Prairie dogs are a keystone species. The hyperaccumulator Stanleya pinnata (prince's plume) co-occurs with prairie dogs in se...

Effective population size (Ne) is an important measure to understand population structure and genetic variability in animal species. The objective of this study was to estimate Ne in Sapsaree dogs using the information of rate of inbreeding and genomic data that were obtained from pedigree and the Illumina CanineSNP20 (20K) and CanineHD (170K) beadchips, respectively. Three SNP panels, i.e. Sap...
